An Emergency Solution to Repair a Punctured Motorcycle Tyre

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see an emergency method (and we emphasise "emergency") to repair a punctured motorcycle tyre. Naturally, on a motorcycle, there is no spare wheel, and you may not have a repair kit with you; this method works perfectly.

However, it is not a permanent solution: the tyre needs to be repaired from the inside or replaced, remember that. Anyway, let’s see how to do it. Remove any nail, take some lubricant, and with the tool shown in the video (a drill bit will also work), introduce the lubricant into the tyre.

Then, using a strip of rubber (which should always be carried with you), apply force and then, with a decisive movement, remove the bit. The tyre is temporarily repaired.
